Trying to get rid of a delay
I just received an old radio shack pro-26 scanner from a friend at work. my boss programmed all the frequencies into the scanner. my problem is that evey time sometime quits talking there 3 beeps lasting about 3 seconds, which means the traffic of the responding person is always missed. there is a delay button on the scanner and i made sure i deactivated it on all the channels but there still is a 3 second delay.

Sounds like you are hearing EDACS trunked traffic. With a trunk tracking scanner you will not hear those beeps. I believe [somebody confirm or deny this] that they are a code to tell the trunking system to release the frequency. It is possible that while you are hearing those beeps, the responding party is already replying but on another frequency. -- (Jim, single dad to Lesleigh [Autistic] 04/20/94) "What, Me Worry?" A. E.

Well, I have a Pro-26, and it has never done anything like this. Also reviewing the manual just now, I see nothing about "3 beeps" in any mode. If this is happening on any freq regardless of band or agency, I suspect the radio is defective. If it is only coming from 1 agency's channels, then it is a product of their system. --reed |

It's just trying to receive EDACS trunking without a scanner that
tracks it. After they unkey the repeater stays up a few secs with the beeps. With a EDACS scanner you shouldn't hear it if it's programmed correct..

The PRO-26 is not a tracker. So the OP is not hearing a response likely because the conversation switched to another freq altogether. .. |
